OVERVIEWOil prices dived on
Wednesday after Trump announced on Truth Social a two-sided ceasefire agreement
for two weeks while the US and Iran negotiate a lasting peace deal. Since then,
the price action became more rangebound due to Israeli attacks against Lebanon
which the Iranians have been saying was part of the ceasefire agreement.The good news is that Iran
held off from retaliating ahead of the peace talks in Islamabad this weekend.
But the uncertainty has been keeping the markets in check, nonetheless. The Strait of Hormuz remains basically closed and the Iranians are just letting a limited number of ships to cross it. Trump has already complained about this on Truth Social, but for now both sides are holding off from breaking the ceasefire. Everything hinges on these peace talks as the restart of the war would trigger
another surge in oil prices. On the other hand, a peace
deal would lead to another selloff in crude oil potentially bringing prices
back to pre-war levels. CRUDE OIL
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – DAILY TIMEFRAMEOn the daily chart, we can
see that crude oil bounced around the 93.00 support zone as the buyers stepped
in with a defined risk below the support to position for a rally back into the
highs. The sellers will want to see the price falling below the support to pile
in for a drop into the 78.00 support next.CRUDE OIL TECHNICAL
ANALYSIS – 4 HOUR TIMEFRAMEOn the 4 hour chart, we can
see the price has been rejecting the support and the lower bound of the channel
as the buyers continue to pile in for a rally into new highs. We can expect the
buyers to continue to lean on the support and the bottom trendline to keep
pushing into new highs, while the sellers will need a break lower to open the
door for new lows.CRUDE OIL TECHNICAL
ANALYSIS – 1 HOUR TIMEFRAMEOn the 1 hour chart, there’s
not much we can add here as the price action has been messy not giving any
clear level where to lean on except the major support and the lower bound of
the channel. The buyers should keep on leaning on the bottom trendline and the
support, while the sellers should wait for a break below the support to pile in
for new lows. The red lines define the average daily range for today. UPCOMING CATALYSTSToday we conclude the week with the US CPI report and the University of
Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey. The US-Iran negotiations are expected to
begin tomorrow now but we still might get some headline today, so keep an eye
on that.

đź’ˇ DMK Insight
Oil prices are reacting to geopolitical tensions, and here’s why that matters now: The announcement of a ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran has created a temporary lull in volatility, but traders should be cautious. While the initial reaction saw oil prices dive, the ongoing Israeli attacks against Lebanon could reignite fears of supply disruptions. This situation is a classic example of how geopolitical events can create short-term price swings, making it crucial for traders to stay alert. Look for key resistance levels around recent highs; if prices bounce back, it could signal a renewed upward trend. Conversely, a sustained drop below current support levels might indicate a bearish sentiment taking hold. It’s worth noting that while mainstream coverage focuses on the ceasefire, the potential for renewed conflict in the region could have longer-lasting implications for oil supply. Traders should monitor the situation closely, especially any developments from Iran or Israel that could shift market sentiment. Keep an eye on the daily charts for breakout patterns, as volatility is likely to increase in the coming days.
đź“® Takeaway
Watch for oil prices to test key support levels; a break could signal deeper bearish trends, while a rebound might suggest renewed bullish momentum.
